Thank you for your comments.

I have tried your suggestions, and still no luck...

The /etc/ld.so.conf seems to contain the correct reference, but I tried
setting the WINEDLLPATH too (like 'export WINEDLLPATH=/usr...' etc.) and
that made no difference.

It may be helpful to note that the initial problem with 'USER.EXE' that
I reported is actually solved by fixing all the configs in ~/.wine and
the stumbling block I am really hitting is the Unhandled Exception in
thread 0009, or some such -- details in my original email.

Since I've noticed some other people experiencing this error, and
because it happens so early, regardless of what I am trying to launch
(whether notepad or some application of my choosing), I can't help
thinking from my programming experience that the developers will spot
the problem as something obvious, perhaps configuration-related.

Do developers read this list enough to see the comments, or would I be
better-advised to ask on the developers list perhaps?

I'm keen to help solve Wine problems as much for the community as for
getting my own installation working -- if I can be guided to run any
additional specific tests to get to the bottom of exactly what is wrong,
I'd be happy to try and help if I can :)
